has anyone ever picked up the deck on a v20

Skool, does the floor have to come up that much?? Seems like a lot. I was thinking the floor might have to go up as far as the bottom of where the saddle tanks sit, but I don't think that is 6". I might rethink my belly tank idea. :'( Then again, I was thinking I'd be happy with a fourty gallon tank. Maybe I wont have to go up as far... :-/h

hold on i'll go measure my floor to bottom of hull to see how high it needs to be off the center bottom of boat.

ok my floor measures from the bottom center of the boat to the bottom of the deck 16 inches. If i were you i'd raise it 2 inches over that to 18 inches. do you want pics of where i measures and all or does this make since.

Makes sense to me! I'm just glad we aren't still talk'n 6". I just measured the top of my floor and 2" is about 1/2" below the flat surface where the saddle tanks sat so going by your measurements it looks like I can stick to plan A ;D. Thanks Skools!

Pics are still cool, though. Do you have the whole floor out?

no my floor was good. i measured in the rear floor storage holes. yeah i wasn't positive on how low it was in the older models but yeah rasie it up and you will have a deck drain boat. i'd personally go 18 inches from center bottom of the boat to the underside of the floor.

wow is she wet, *there is not 1 peace of dry wood in her, *from the transom to the bow it all needs 2 be ripped tryin 2 get som pics.
